The chief event in the celebration oi 
WashiuKton's Birthday was the servic«s 
giveD under the auspices of the Souh ot 
the Revolutiou. The serTice was military, 
a departure from the usual rule, and was 
moflt impressiTC throughout. It took 
place iu St. John's Church. There were 
2,500 invitation* issued, and every one 
who could crowd into the beautiful and 
spacious church did so, filling it com- 
pletely both in the amiitoriutn and the 
galleries, while mnny stood during the 
two hours the interesting ceremoaias con- 
sumed. 



Tli« boar set for the service to begin ' 
was 4 o'clock, but fully an hour before 
the doors were opened great throngs of 
ladies and gentlemen gathered on the 
square fronting the church eager to gain 
admission. When the doors were thrown 
open those of the crowd favored with 
cards poured into the church, and it was 
soon filled from the chancel to the en- 
trance, and late arrivals sought standiug 
room in the galleries. 

It was a distinguished assemblage. Just 
in f ront of the Sons of the Revolution sat 
the President of the United States.M. Pate- 
notre. minister from France, and the en- 
tire French legation; Seuor Montt, the 
Chilian envoy , and many others of note, 
while throughout the audience men dis- 
tinguished both in war and in peace were 
a B thick as they could crowd on to the long 
benches, and there were fully as many 
lovely ladies most handsomely attired as 
there were men. All were there to do 
hom age to America's first and greatest 
patriot. 

No higher or more devoted tribute in 
music, song, oratory, and prayer has ever 
been uaid his memory than the paeans 
sounded within the consecrated walls of 
St. John's yesterday afternoon. Nothing 
had b een omitted to make the programme

with which it was carried out entitles 
those in charge of It to unstinted praise. 



The serrice was m)d«r the directiou of 
the rector, Bev. Dr. DoiiJflass, and all the 
arranKem«nrs hHCl been perfected by the 
officers of the society, of which the Hon. 
John Lee Carroll is president, and tbe 
Pickering Dodge is secretary. The sug- 
gestions that the service be with military 
honors came from Lieut. Mr. Davenporr, 
U. S. N., and he contributed much to the 
perfection of the admirable details. Tlie 
nien,ib<a-s of the reception committee were: 
John Lee Carroll, chairmiui; .Moutgom- 
ery Blair. Lient. Davenoort. of the Navy.

Montcomery Blair. Carroll Mercer, Picit- 
erin^'DodKe. Robert S. Chilton. Preston

The members of the society, about 15) 
in number, formed in' front of the pni ish

led by Gov. Carroll, filed into the churc • 
lanrltook seats reserved for them m i.he 
center tierof benches iramediatelv in fronr,

returned with him and Secretary H.il Lord. 
They were preceded a few minutes hy 
RearAdnviral Gree-r, who drove out for 
Vice President Morton, and the distin- 
guished party entered by the H-street 
doorway. 

When they came in the audience rose to 
their feet, and remained stiUidinK until the 
President and party were seated. The 
French and Chilian ministers, and repre- 
sentatives of other forei2;i let^ations also 
entered by the H-street door, and wer" 
szivQ seats along with the Presidential 
party. The musical proirr.imme was 
one of the most excellent ever 
rendered in a VVashiutJiou church. 
The entire Marine Band, with Mr. John 
Philip Sousa as director, was pbiced to 
the ri 'ht of the chancid, and the choir 
consisted of fifty voices, with Mr. Will-

Contra tenor-Mr. J. C. Gowins. 
The usual service of the church was read 
with responses, and the lesson read by Dr. 
Douglass was taken from the eiKhth 
chapter of Deuteronomy. 

The musical programme which iutor- 
sperned the services was the prelude 
"March du Sacre." largo, from "Xer- 
xes;" processional hymn, "Gloria Patri ;" 
Te Deum, "The Star-spauKled Banner." 
anthem, "The Heavens Are Tellin};;" "My 
iCouiitrv. 'Tis of Thee." "Sevenfold 
A.Wi«n," recessional anthem, "Hail Co- 
jtinabia." and the Doxology. 



Rev. Dr. f^IsKim. rector of Kpiphahy 
Church, made the c ief address of the oc- 
casion, speakias: nearly three-quarters of 
an hour on "Washington, the man aad 
the patriot." The address was replete 
with beautiful thoumhts and patriotic 
suggestions. 

He took for his text, "And Elisha saw 
it, and he cried, my father, my father, 
the chariot of Israel and the horsemen 
thereof," Kings: il, 12. These words, 
which are at once a lamentation and a 
euloKV, might fitly have been on the lips 
of every citizen of the United States on 
the day when George Washington passed 
away from earth; for, by the unanimous 
suffrage of mnnkiud, he has been hailed 
as the Father of his Country, and, by 
every fresh historical inve-sticration, it has 
been made more abundantly manifest 
that he was to the young; republic of the 
west more than its 'chariot' and its 
'horsemen' — he was its sword and its 
shield, its wisdom audits strength. In- 
deed, there was paid to his memory just 
such a tribute as this which Elisha ren- 
dered to the patriot prophet of Carmel in 
eyery part of the land which he 
had fir.«!t made free by his , 
▼alor and then made strong- 
by his wisdom. Nor was the threnody 
confined to this western hemisphere. It 
was speedily taken up by every country in 
Europe. No people could withhold their 
tribute of tjrief and respect at the passinii' 
of such an heroic soul. Yes, Washington 
was mourned throughout the civilized 
world. The reverberation of his fame 
passed from shore to shore, till it «irdled 
the earth— not like the sound of the war 
drums of England that follow the sun 
in his course around the globe, but like 
the echo of the hymn that once was heardj 
over the hills of Judea, 'Peace on earth,* 
good- will to men.' It is natwral, and it is " 
well, that the birthday of such a man i 
should be celebrated by all men who lovej 
liberty or admire greatness and purity of 
character, Washington belongs to all 
citizens of America. Nay, in an im- 
portant sense, he belongs to the whole i 
world. As Talleyrand wrote in the order 
that announced his death to the French i 
people, "he lived for all nations and for all 
countries.' " ! 

The speaker then reviewed the life of 
Washington as a man, aside from his ; 
peerless record as a soldier and statesman, ; 
and insisted that it was his private life | 
that taught the youth of the land a great I 
lesson. He did not undertake to say that, 
Washington was void of human frailties, 
for he was not, but he had a will strong 
enough to resist temptation. He had a 
waim, manly heart, full of the mJlk of 
human kindness, full of sympathy to and 
withihis tellow-mea. Wasbiogtoa Avas a 

sincere Christian, he read the Bible daily, 
and was a man of prayer. 

Dr. McKim concluded his SBrtendid ad- 
dress MS follows: 

And now, my comrades, among the Jessnns 
which tie siU'lv of the career of this greatest 
American oukUI to write deeply on our mindsji 
this ought to stand in the forefront. I will ex- 
press it; in his own words. Of all the dispost 
tions and habits which lead to political pros- 
perity, religion and morality are iudisponsablejl 
supports. He refused the tribute of patriotism) 
to ibe man "who should labor to subvert these 
great pillars of human happiness." l^t us do j 
the same. lie warned his countrymen to bfl ^

Anthem, "The Heavens Are Telling," Hay den. 

The heavens are telling the glory of God, 

The wonder of His works displays the firmament. 

To-day that is coming speaks it the day: 

The night that is gone to following night. 

In all the lands resounds the word. 

Never unperceived, ever understood.

Recessional Anthem, "Hail Columbia," Hopkiusoii. 

Hail Columbia, happy land! 

Hail ye heroes, heaven-born band! 
Who fought and bled in freedom's cause. 
Who fought and bled in freedom's cause. 

And when the storm of war was gone, 

Enjoved the peace your valor won. 

I^et independence be our boast, 

Ever mindful what it cost; 

Ever grateful for the prize, 

Let its altar reach the skies; 

Firm united let us be, 

Rallying 'round our liberty; 

As a band of brothers joined. 

Peace and safety we shall find. 

Sound, sound the trump of fame! 

Let Washington's great name 
Ring through the world with loud applause; 
Ring through the world with loud applause; 

Serene he stood amid dismay, 

When gloom obscured Columbia's day; 

He never faltered in his trust 

That God would bless a cause so just, 

And make his native land to be 

The favored home of liberty. 

All united let us be. 

Praising Him Who made us free; 

Serving Him with all our powers, 

Peace and safety shall be ours.
